Twinspace “LIVE” is easier
and better
We don’t need to create a new account or use our
personal accounts on the school pc, like in Skype or any
other application.
We only use our eTwinning accounts.
We can use the white board and draw online, real
time!

and better
All we need is a pc with a camera and a
microphone, or a laptop.
Don’t forget that different countries have
different time. Use CET (central european zone) in
your communications with people around Europe.
You can find your CET time in
https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/cet

and better
Spain’s time is CET time.
Italy’s time is CET time.
Northern Macedonia’s time is CET time.
Greece’s time is CET + 1 time (12:00 CET time equals 13:OO
in Greece)
Turkey’s time is CET + 2 time (12:00 CET time equals 14:OO
in Turkey)
Armenia’s time is CET + 3 time (12:00 CET time equals
15:OO in Armenia)

How to organize a live
conference in the Twinspace
Organize is easy…

When you are in our Twinspace, go to “LIVE”.

You will see that you
can create a live event.
To do so, follow the
link.

Here you have to decide
about the title, a very short
description, the number of
participants (I included the
pupils) and the duration.
Then, you have to choose a
date and click on Search.
A dialogue window will open
and ask you about the exact
time.
Press “Save”.

Finally, if you go to “LIVE” in our Twinspace before 30.11.2018,
you will see that a live event is scheduled on that day. This is all.

Participate is easier…

How to partisipate in a live
Make sure that you have noted in your diary the correct day
and time, by turning CET in your own time.
For example, on our planned date on 30/11/2018, on 10:00, I will
have to remember that our date is on 11:00.
On that date, have your pc/laptop and your pupils ready for the
event.

I have used a trick to show how it is to participate in a
Twinspace Live Event:
I created an event while I was in front of my pc, e.g. Sunday
25/11, at 13:00 CET (2 o’clock here).
One or two minutes after 13:00, the black button appeared:
This black button will appear next to “Christmas” on 30/11 at 10:00 CET.

The Twinspace “LIVE” uses Adobe. First it will ask you to run
Adobe Connect and, of course, you have to accept.
If it asks you for downloads or updates, just do so. It doesn’t
matter if we have to wait for a while that everyone is ready.

Turn on your microphone and your camera.

In “Share my screen” we will find a white board. We can
collaborate here, by drawing real time together.

Don’t forget to take photos during the event. We can exchange
them later.

An example of Twinspace
LIVE
This is an example of a live conference on Twinspace Live some
years ago, before christmas
The event was between Greece and Belgium.
We had to run two main activities: a) sing Christmas Carrols to
each other in our mother tongues, b) draw Christmas images
together.

LIVE
This is the event from our side.
We used our laptop.
We sat in front of the camera and sang.
We took turns to draw in the white board.

LIVE
This is the same event
from the side of Belgium.
They used a pc and a
touch screen.
They also sat in front of
the camera and sang.
They took turns to draw
in the white board.

This is it! I wish
you the best live
events in the
Twinspace!
